WTTS Album Side Saturday, 2016

There are few things in this world that bring people together like listening to music. Dropping the needle on a fresh piece of vinyl comes with an unbridled excitement, mystery and pure enjoyment that is impossible to recreate. In honor of Record Store Day, we’re bringing back WTTSAlbum Side Saturday. Join us April 16th as we spin classic album sides all day long. Every hour, win exclusive vinyl releases and qualify for the grand prize, a copy of every album we play and a portable turntable, signed by Tom Petty! WTTS Album Side Saturday is April 16th starting at 6am, brought to you by Indy CD & Vinyl, your local home for live music, exclusive releases, and sales on everything from turntables to the records that play on them.

I’d like to incorporate more women in the “classic” album side spins next Saturday. When one thinks of the classics it is male dominated, Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Zeppelin, etc., all great and worthy choices but maybe we could try to find some classic album sides from women fronted bands – are the Pretenders old enough to be considered classic? If so, how about side 1 from “Learning to Crawl” Ann Wilson has some pipes on her and I think Heart would certainly fit into the classic category and side 1 from “Dreamboat Annie” would not sound out of place on your station for the occasion. Maybe some Jefferson Airplane thrown in so we can hear some Grace Slick. On the mellower side of things, either side of Carole King’s “Tapestry” would be great to hear early Saturday morning. Thanks for the consideration.

Now that I have added my 2 cents worth re: women – here are some other requests .
I would love to hear any Dire Straits album side but my preference would be from their less popular “Making Movies” album (either side). Supertramp, “Breakfast in America” (either side). Steely Dan, “Royal Scam” side 1 or “Aja” the whole album, Lol.

Would love to hear either side from any of these albums that I wore out growing up 😉 I like Greg’s suggestion to post the play list.
